PRESIDENT’S REPORT
March 20, 2019
As of March 20, our enrollment across all campuses is up by 7.2% in FTE with the Craig
Campus up 7% from last spring. Our headcount is up 9.15% total for all locations. We
are also up from two years ago by 1.5% in FTE and 9.6% in headcount.

Our Marketing Director candidate will be on the Craig campus on March 25 to visit in
person with Craig staff and faculty.

We will be holding forums and in person interviews for the Vice President of Student
Affairs/Craig Campus on March 25 and 27 in both Craig and Rangely. We hope a final
decision will be made soon after those visits.

We have filled both the Instructional Technologist/Associate IT position. Jake Byers will
start in this position on April 15. We have also hired our Director of Community
Education. This person will oversee all community education throughout the college
and will be housed on the Craig campus. Sasha Nelson will take over the reins on April
15.

The legislature is still going strong and the budget bill should be finalized any time. Until
then we will not know the amount of our state revenues. We anticipate an increase
from the state revenues but are not sure of the amount. We also know that there will be
increases to the college on the expense side for PERA, health insurance, and
mandatory raises.

Several other bills are being considered that could have impacts on developmental
education and concurrent enrollment. Until the final version of these bills are passed by
both houses and signed by the governor, we will not know how it will affect CNCC

This last month a ceremony was to be held for the Phi Theta Kappa Colorado All-
Academic Team. However, because of the weather, the ceremony had to be canceled.
Mario Lewis from the Craig campus was to be honored at that ceremony. We will honor
him at our Awards Banquet in April.

Three of our Craig employees will be honored at a ceremony in Denver on April 10.
Carol Sharp will be honored as our Classified Staff Member of the Year. Dana
Armstrong will be honored as our Faculty Member of the Year. Karen Stillion will be
honored as our Part-Time Employee of the Year. All three are very deserving of the
award that will be held at the Governor’s Mansion.
